Patent EP-0415793-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SOMMERVILLE WHITE PETER GORDON
IPC: E01D15/14
Filed: 1990-08-31
Abstract: A floating bridge structure consists of modules coupled together in a string either end to end or side by side depending on the nature of the stretch of water to be bridged. Each module comprises a spaced parallel pair of elongate internally compartmentalised inflatable floats (1) with respective elongate rigid platform members (3) attached along their tops and transverse connector members (8) extending between the floats (1) with their ends (11) releasably connected to the platform members (3). The connector members (8) are cranked so that their middle lengths (9) between the floats (1) lie submerged; and in the case where the modules are coupled end to end with their floats (1) parallel to the length of the bridge structure, longitudinal track members (13) on which vehicles can run are mounted on the submerged middle lengths (9) of the connector members (8). In the case where the modules are coupled side by side with their floats (1) transverse to the length of the bridge structure, the track members (13) are mounted on the platform members (3) with their ends supported and located by arch members (27) in turn supported on the middle lengths (9) of the connector members (8).

Abstract: A computed tomography (CT) scanner (10) non-invasively examines a region of interest of a patient to create an image representation that is stored in an image memory (14). Each pixel of the image representation has a relatively large number of bits of radiation intensity resolution, e.g. 14 bits or 16k levels, which is larger than the gray scale resolution of a conventional video monitor (24), e.g. 8 bits or 256 levels. A look-up table (38) digitally filters each plxel value with digital filter values to reduce the number of levels of each pixel value to the number of gray scale levels displayable by the video monitor. While the image is being displayed, the operator selectively adjusts the digital filtering to optimize the displayed image for the intended diagnostic purpose. During the vertical flyback or other non-display periods of the video monitor, a central processor (30) generates most significant bits of addresses that read digital filter longwords from a filter memory (44). A multiplexer (54) breaks each word into a plurality of filter values or bytes which are serially conveyed to the digital filter look-up table. A least significant bit address generator (62) generates the least significant bits of the address for each filter value concurrently with its conveyance to the look-up table. The multiplexer and least significant bit address generator are clocked at a faster rate than the central processor such that within one read clock pulse of the central processor, a plurality of digital filter values are loaded into the digital filter look-up table. In this manner, image filtering via look-up table in real time is enhanced through an improved, faster loading method.

IPC: A61B17/22
Filed: 1990-02-22
Abstract: Method and apparatus for fracturing hard deposits (20, 110, 122) such as urinary and biliary stones and atherosclerotic plaque in the human body. A flexible guide (10, 40, 60, 84, 100) having a hard mass (12, 42, 64, 86, 104, 120) capping an end is adapted for insertion through a fluid passage in a living body. An energy source (22, 52, 74, 80) creates a rapid vapor expansion adjacent to the cap (12, 42, 64, 86, 104, 120) causing it to undergo a pulse like movement, imparting a high-velocity impulse to an adjacent deposit (30, 110, 122), thereby fracturing it. The energy source (22, 52, 74, 80) may be a laser (22) with a fiber optic (14) delivery system in the guide (10) terminating adjacent to the cap (12) to cause vaporization of the mass cap (12) to create the vapor expansion. The energy source (22, 52, 74, 80) may be a spark generator (52, 74, 80) with a conductor (46, 66, 82) associated with the guide (40, 60, 84, 100) to deliver a fluid vaporizing spark (126) adjacent to the mass cap (42, 64, 86, 104, 120). Other forms of rapid energy delivery such as chemical detonations or ballistic impact may also be applicable.
